This is a compilation of "letters" written by Olivia Hunt to various people. The story itself is both funny (the movie bits) and touching (the sister/family bits) but I had trouble enjoying it because of the writing style.

Fun weekend read--your life won't be changed by having read this book, but it will hold your attention. It's one of those books that explores relationships in their varied forms.

good chick lit...a little slow in the beginning, but was hooked by the end.

Really enjoyed this book ~ one of those that makes you laugh and cry, sometimes at the same time! Looking forward to something else by Ms. Robinson!

Really great feel good family story I luved it, Highly recommend giving it a read.

Read this on a plane ride and found myself smiling. If you have a sister you should read this one. It made me miss mine. A nice light-reading kind of book.

A must read if you have sisters

I absolutely loved this book. It was the first time I paid full retail price for a book in a looong time, but it was so worth it. I'm only letting this copy go because I got a hardcover one at The Book Thing of Baltimore (www.bookthing.org).

This book was told by one of the sisters so the format is different but I enjoyed the book.

Loved this book. Funny, touching, unique.

"Olivia Hunt's Hollywood life has come to a grinding halt. A hotshot producer accustomed to first-class amenities, Olivia has just been unceremoniously fired after her last movie tanked. Her boyfriend, Michael, has dumped her. And she's not the blonde she used to be: dark roots are coming in at an alarming rate. Her next project is a well-crafted suicide note." "Then she finds out what real trouble is. Olivia's beloved sister, Maddie, is seriously ill. Maddie is living the life Olivia ran like hell from - she's happily married to her high school sweetheart and still living in the small town where they grew up. Stunned and bewildered, Olivia catches the next plane back home." Maddie's idealism and optimism have always driven Olivia crazy. Even now, when the odds aren't good, Maddie never doubts she'll beat them. But Olivia wonders, is hope just a way of kidding yourself? As if to answer that question, Maddie challenges Olivia to produce her dream film, the impossible-to-make Don Quixote. Olivia's life then becomes a tangle of movie sets, IV drips, and letters to Michael asking him what went wrong and if they might try again. When Maddie takes a turn for the worse, Olivia has to face the hardest choices life can offer. How can one person's heart so truly be in three places at once?

A wonderful story about love between sisters, the aches and sadness of terminal illness, the struggles to fulfill one's goals and dreams. Her writing style moved me, while I was laughing out loud

Good read, at times both sad and funny.
